Libevent/libtool gets confused by the library order when statically linking
the sample programs and passes -lz before -lcrypto even though libcrypto
uses zlib.

/bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link ..  -o sample/https-client \
	sample/https-client.o sample/hostcheck.o \
	sample/openssl_hostname_validation.o libevent.la \
	libevent_openssl.la -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lz -lcrypto

libtool: link: ..  -o sample/https-client sample/https-client.o \
	sample/hostcheck.o sample/openssl_hostname_validation.o \
	./.libs/libevent.a ./.libs/libevent_openssl.a \
	-lssl -lz -lcrypto

../libcrypto.a(c_zlib.o): In function `zlib_stateful_expand_block':
c_zlib.c:(.text+0x30): undefined reference to `inflate'

This is most likely fixable, but as the sample programs aren't installed /
used, simply skip building them to save time and work around this issue.
